Alone

It's nice being alone at times because you get to have some "me" time. So my hubby is gone for the next 2 weeks and it's just em and my daughter here at home right now. She is 18 and goes out with her boyfriend a couple of times a week and it gives me somet ime to myself. It's nice having time to myself, I really like it. I gave myself a night at a hotel a few years ago as a birthday present to myself. It was wonderful, the cafe was open 24 hours and I went down to it at 2 am and had a coffe and a piece of chocolate silk pie. lol

I brought a book and some treats like cookies, frappuccino and money enough to go to the buffet for dinner. It was wondefful and my hubby had no problem with it. Heck he is happy watching his sisters place and her 3 dogs while she is gone because he has some alone time. I think we all need some alone time now and again.

New freebie site

I love letting other readers know when I have found a great site for freebies. I recently found another blog that lists great feebies..

http://welovefreesamples.blogspot.com/

If you love freebies and don't want to look all over the net for them, here's another blog to visit.

Media Mail

For those of you who don't know what Media Mail is...When you mail a book, cd or dvd you can have it sent Media Mail for a cheaper cost than first class mail. But and there is a big but...it usually takes anywhere from 9-21 days to deliver and sometimes more.

The packages also get put in the same stoage container as some of the bigger boxes and thus your small CD or DVD envelope can be damaged or crushed..which has happened to me on several occasions.

I do not like media mail and hate getting something I bought on either amazon or ebay and have it sent media mail because like right now.....it's been 3 weeks since I ordered 2 books and they still aren't here yet.

C'mon people. Pay the extra few cents when shipping a single book, cd or dvd and get it to the buyer alot faster and in better shape. because beleive me if it's late, broken, crushed or anything else...I will be leaving a negative rating on the transaction!

Do you read romance?

I know I do. Boy do I read romance, I can't get enough of them at times. I read all kinds of books, from self help to Horror and everything in between. but romance is my favorite. Of course I have my sub genres as I call them, the ever popular Vampires and Werewolf Romance novels.

Well If you like reading as much as I do, you are going to want to take a look at this site.

Atlantis Unleashed By Alyssa Day

I knew when I read her first book in theis series I would be hooked and I was sooo right. I got throught ready Altantis Unleashed tonight and I actually whimpered during one of the tense sexual scenes.

My husband barely looked at me with that ever knowing smirk on his face. But whatever book this author throws at me next time I am bound to read, beacuse she really catches my and others readers attentions.

What more can I say...Go get the darn book and read it...and THEN tell me I am wrong. You won't be able to.

Uploaded new Pic.

I just updated my blog and the pic you see down there isn't of me obviously, but of none other than Nick from Forever Knight. I really miss that show, I really hate how they ened it, but they seem to do that alot.

Land Of Mary

Have you ever googled your name? lol well I did and I was surprised to see my name on a website I hadn't seen before, so I clicked on it and found myself in the land of Mary. It was made by someone on Associated Content, where I write but she has put together a whole bunch of Mary's. I thought it was kinda cool. I'm listed under Associated Content Authors.

All things freebie

I don't know if you know this about me but I happen to be a free sample addict. There I admitted it and isn't that the first step?

I used to shop the free site forums and try to sign up for all the free samples I could find, that is until I found one sight that has almost all the good ones at one sight. It's called freegrabber.com
and I have been able to find soooo many good samples there. I went back through the many many pages they have and signed up for just about every free sample they offered, well except for the ones that I didn't need like diapers and things of that nature.

I also go to walmart.com and find alot of really good free samples there. They are really fast to send out their samples unlike most other plces that want you to wait 6-8 weeks for a sample. But if you are like me, you end up signing up for so many samples each day, that after a while you start to get a few samples everyday.

Another place for good free samples is teenfreeway.com
Alot of what they have is for teenagers but why should they get all the free samples? lol

Traffic

Sometimes I wonder if anyone at all reads my blog here. I know I don't write much but even if a few people are reading I'll keep writing.

It's winter

We got almost 2 inches of snow here in Las Vegas this past week. Most places around town got 6 inches. It's been a weird and wonderful week.

I just got done reading Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

I will say I absolutely loved this book. If you like this authors writing this is a must have for you. I read it in one day, in one sitting. I was home alone and was uninterrupted, so it was easier. I can't wait for the next installment.

Hi and nice to see you

Yeah yeah, I know I haven't been around much. But you can still read my articles just look over ---> there and click on one of them. lol
Have a nice day and leave me a note when you read one of my articles.

Get Paid for Doing Surveys

bad survey places

You know I've been taking online surveys for years and getting pretty good rewards, prizes, cash ect..from them. I even have a bunch I do through the mail, so when my daughter asked me to help her find one she could do I did. I thought it was a good one too, she's been doing the survey's with them for over a year and last year got a $25.00 gift card when she cashed in ehr points.

Well last week when she tried logging in to do her monthly survey, she couldn't log in instead she got a message stating her account had been deactivated. They never even emailed her to tell her this. She has several thousand points saved up from the last years surveys that she was saving to get a bigger prize.

I helped her email them and they sent her back an email stating that her informatiion was no longer needed, that since her help was no longer needed her account had been deactiveated and she looses all her points. Now is that fair.?

They gave her a link to the terms of service that states what they did was in there and that she agreed to it when she signed up.

https://www.partnership-plus.com/login/

Is the link to the site, I wanted to warn others not to sign up for this site. They will rip you off.

Yeah I've posted this several times, on my blogs and I'm going to continue to post this every so often because poeple should know there are survey places out there that will scam you. It's not right that she lost 11 months worth of survey points because they decided to deactivate her account. They should have at the very least let her cash in her points.

Plaques, name plates and more
